The women, aged 18 to 28, were arrested on a range of offences, including illegal entry, tampering with legal documents, breach of deportation orders, and over-staying their time.

Investigators said between 10 pm and 2 am, officers from the Port-of-Spain Task Force, led by Supt Hackett, and including Sgts Gary Edwards and Mervyn Edwards, Cpl Adjodha, Cpl Lucian and Immigration Officer Rudy Maharaj, went to the hotel at Chase Village, Chaguanas.

Lots of charges good! Now

Lots of charges good! Now let’s see how fast the court can get this over.

We need examples.

Good work by the police and

Good work by the police and the immigration officer . There is a new Mayor in Chaguanas so it will not be business as usual for criminals and miscreants . Atw - Barbados .

It would be unfair to credit

It would be unfair to credit this to "Our lovely Chaguanas Barbie" as these raids seem to be on going on brothels (advertising as "GUEST HOUSES"or Bar and Hotel) in that area.
It is good that it has happened so soon under her watch, so she gets one point for that.
People forget that gambling prostitution and drugs are all intertwined in the creation of the kind of crime we are seeing in Trinbago. It is not only the drug selllers who have TURF wars and kill.

Bravo to the police especially if they are into the seriousness of attacking crime on all fronts.
Oops no pun intended

it is simple to sit in ivory

it is simple to sit in ivory towers and condemn.........for many of the women its a means of survival. maybe those who are so concerned would take one of these women in and care for them. it is not right but it happens like so many other things in the world which is not right......natrually we know its probably a pet peeve of our illustrious born again leader who attacks tobacco alcohol and gambling every september. yet he presides over a feeding frenzy of the public purse....all this while those who cannot afford private heath care rot in hospital corridors....."LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE"

Do like law abiding citizens

Do like law abiding citizens and go to the Trinidad and Tobago immigration and get a work permit, crime and justice is all the same.

Do not come to our country and spread the sickness; do not sell your bodies to people husbands that only make more people sick and distroy families. We have enough problems in Trinidad and Tobago, we do not need to cause more families to break up, if the UN/any human rights group want to deal with this good, let them pay to deport them or take care of them.

Lock up the business owner and make sure he don’t get more bail, he contributing to this and all the other crime that stems off this, smuggling, you think only people come on that boat, how much gun and drugs come in.

How the world deals with Trinidad and Tobago citizens, we will deal with the world.

Take it anyway you want it.

I don’t care who did it or when, I am parsing Trinidad and Tobago.

its easy is it not to raid a

its easy is it not to raid a "hotel" and arrest 22 people. i wonder if the police and immigration officers can deal with the robbers and killers out there. as for immigration there are thousands of illegals all over trinidad why not make an attempt to round them up as well. as for the new mayor of chaguanas i can't wait to hear what
"barbie" has to say about this.

...so what happens to those

...so what happens to those that exploit the services of these unfortunate women, many of whom are victims of human trafficking?...

Wiggins there you go again

Wiggins there you go again with your brown nosing, this had nothing to do with the mayor, this is the POS Task Force and Immigration so kudos to the POSTF. This speaks to a bigger issue in my opinion, why do officers have to go into other divisions to make arrests, is it because of the alleged involvement of Central Division officers in suspicious activities.

The licences for these clubs

The licences for these clubs to operate should be revoked when prostitutes are found there!!!!!!!!!!!

there are many other

there are many other locations .. iam certain that the authorities a
re aware . Why only this location .... dont want to pay-up maybe? S'ando ,curepe,maraval. Huh? st.james... whaaaaatt;;;;
